Liverpool have confirmed the names of eleven players who are leaving the club on free transfers this summer.
Jurgen Klopp is looking to reshape his Reds side after they disappointingly finished fifth in the Premier League last season, with Alexis Mac Allister arriving from Brighton for £35million.
A core group of Klopps trusted first team stars are on their way out, however, with the Reds preparing to say farewell to a group who starred during Liverpools famous title season and Champions League triumph in 2019.
One of the players leaving on a free transfer is a seasoned midfielder who has played 857 times during his career.
Another star is a Brazilian forward who has won seven trophies with the club since he joined from Hoffenheim in 2015.
